Once updated with a final patch, Clod can be updated by installing the sequel over it, just like the updating of old
Brilliant!, cheers, MP

This is not new!
We've been told this for the past year.
No surprise!

Maybe they ran out of things to say and have to keep repeating themselves when they have no updates for months on end.

The way I read the latest from Luthier is the next shoe to drop will be the sequel AND THEN AND ONLY THEN will a final patch be released for CLoD...maybe.

If this is the case then exactly how do you install a "finished" sequel over an incomplete game that may or may not receive a last, final patch?

Your probably reading it wrong, its most peoples understanding that there will be a Release Candidate patch for COD relatively soon. The Sequel is still very long way away as the alpha isn't going to be completed until 2013. I'm a little surprised they will have funding for that long. Either way it would be easy for the developers to overwrite whatever they want to overwrite when you merge COD with the Sequel.

So are they at least going to provide CoD owners with patches to fix bugs (not content) without buying the sequel? Anything less would be a disgrace and very dishonest.

what!?, I purchased the game, and to work as it should, I have to buy the sequel?

Have you tried to delete the conf.ini in the Library - Documents - 1C SoftClub - il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover folder? The game will create a new one when started but save a copy just in case.

Oh it was a pleasure to help. Please think nothing of it. Don't mention it. I'm certain you didn't set the configuration wrongly.

AA is not a bug fix. The situation regarding AA has been explained. If you'd rather criticize the company than use a well tried solution, fine.

I did exactly what you said as have many others and AA is not working. AA has been admitted by the devs as not working and will be implemented at a future time. Thanks for trying but it just doesn't work. If you want to post screenies of exactly how you have it set I will try again. The landscape shimmers like crazy and the planes are all jaggy even at high res. Its ridiculous they cannot fix this. It may not be a bug, but it sure is not something a customer should have to pay extra for. If all the bugs are erased in the next patch ok. But if bug fixes like flickering shadows and shimmering graphics remain, it is a disgrace to try and force customers to pay extra for fixes to a broken game. At a minimum they should provide standalone bug fix patches for those who do not want extra content.

The in-game AA does work, but not very well, and it reduces FPS to a large degree. However, none of the old IL2 series had in-game AA settings at all. None whatsoever. Any AA had to come from your graphics card's control panel, just as I'm suggesting.

If you're really interested in a solution rather than simply complaining, see ATAG_Doc's post #10 in this thread here;

There are also some screenshots of mine in the thread, showing the cockpit and wing of a Spit with these settings.

Edit: Where it says 'WRC 2010' in the control panel, it should of course say 'launcher.exe'. This was due to the Nvidia beta driver recognising the app wrongly. This is no longer the case with the official Nvidia v306.23 driver.
